Have you checked your lug nuts? That's the only thing that you would loosen and tighten for a brake job.

Z mid to rear clunks are often hard to trace and often multi-symptomatic (requiring a few U-Joints, Bushings, bearings, Mounts, bolt tightening). Does the problem happen on shifting, braking, throttling, hitting road bumps, when playing Parliament Funkadelic....

Silvey, jack the rear of the car by placing the jack under the diff pumpkin. Now try lifting and lowering the pass. side strut assembly. I suspect the rubber top strut insulator separated/got torn. It happened on my 76 and was making the clunking noise you described.

It also can be attributed to the worn diff member top brace. Do a search for a Ron Taylor (RT) differential mount mod. But like GreenZ said, there might be quite a few causes.
